This and the following genus have recently been separated 

 from the other Weavers by important modifications of the 

 skull in the method of the arrangement of the orbital 

 foramina, and in the shape of the sternum. Mr. Chapin 

 (Bull. Amer. Mus. N.Y. xxxvii. 1917, p. 243) considers that 

 these peculiarities entitle Textor and Dinemellia to rank as a 

 distinct family. We have therefore placed these genera at 

 the end of the family Ploceidse to emphasize this.
